welcome to the forum! and wow damn, what happened there, heh. ahh, montreal roads. my friend was driving on the 720 when suddenly, a bowling ball!!!

new wheel was had.

Thanks. I can truly say that i never felt how bad the roads were until i finally switched to a sports car with low profiles...imagine how hard it was to convince friends and family that i wasn't raming my new car and that it actually happened at legal speed.

I've been lurking on this forum for far to long, so I guess its time that I at least present myself. I just recently got my first bimmer, a 2009 335i with 70k clicks, and so far I love the hell out of it !!
Of course being winter and all, the car looks like a mess, but I cannot wait for summer to start to put the car in shape.
I also have had the unfortunate luck to hit some things on the 440 last week which totally went through my rear tire and created a bit of a mess . Luckily my fender wasn't damaged even though the whole tire turned upside down on its rim hehe. Got that fixed and now I'm rolling on a summer tire since low profile winter tires are somewhat hard to find in Montreal, I did order one however.

Here's the baby, and let me know what you guys think.

Congrats on the new ride and welcome to the Montreal forum. Sorry to hear about the tire issue and yes Montreal are some of the worse ones in NA!!!

cause it sounds like a Honda and does nothing for performance (and in fact, it's a long argument, but the consensus seems to be that since BMW designed it as a closed system, it's best stayed that way without leaking air outside like a bov does). Believe me - a number of people have been running high boost with no cheesy "kssh" and it's been fine
